[INTRO — 124 BPM, intimate room sound, Rhodes chords, distant kick] [Spoken, close] You ever hear a beat... and swear it's moving twice? [Rhodes breathes] One... two... three... four... [Soft vocal] I feel it underneath I feel it in the floor Something keeps on moving But I can't find the door [VERSE 1 — DEEP HOUSE] There's a rhythm in the room That nobody can see It pulls me just a little Then it gives me back to me The clock says one thing My body says another Your hand lands on the two Then somehow finds the four [Pre-Chorus] Don't count it Just feel it Don't chase it Believe it [CHORUS — warm, soulful] I've got double vision Two rhythms in my head One keeps pulling forward One keeps pulling back instead Double vision I can't tell wrong from right I'm dancing to the shadow Of a beat that's out of sight [AD-LIBS] I feel it... Right there... Don't lose it... Don't lose it... [VERSE 2 — JACKIN' HOUSE MUTATION] Kick gets heavier Hats start talking back Bassline finds a crooked little Space between the cracks Percussion starts arriving Where it shouldn't be Every little mistake Becomes another piece of me [Background vocal] Don't straighten it out Don't straighten it out [Lead] Leave it crooked. [DRUM BREAK — groove fragments] Kick... hat... clap... [Micro-looped vocal] One-two... One-two-three-four... One... two... [CHORUS — MORE INTENSE] I've got double vision Two rhythms in my head One keeps pulling forward One keeps pulling back instead Double vision Something's changing in the light I'm standing in the same room But the room don't feel the same tonight [ACID / TECH HOUSE MUTATION] [Instrumental vocal chops] MOVE MOVE MOVE [Low vocal] Keep walking... [Acid bass begins answering the Rhodes melody] [Verse] The bass remembers something That I forgot to say It takes the shape of yesterday Then bends it out of shape The Rhodes keeps telling stories The bass starts stealing words The drums begin dividing And suddenly— [Everything cuts] [HALF-TIME ILLUSION — perceived 62 BPM] [Huge space. Kick becomes sparse. Sub sustains.] [Whisper] ...where did the beat go? [Long vocal breath] Half speed... Half light... Half way... through the night... [Low bass continues internally at 124 BPM] [Whisper] But listen... [Percussion quietly continues at double subdivision] You can still hear it. [WTF MOMENT] [DRUMS VANISH] [Dry Rhodes plays the ORIGINAL opening melody] [Room noise] [Half-beat silence] [Deep bass answers...] [Exact Rhodes melody.] [Whisper] You thought I changed the tempo. [Pause] I changed your head. [ONE KICK] [SECOND KICK] [FULL 124 BPM GROOVE RETURNS] [NEURO-STYLE HOUSE MUTATION] [Instrumental vocal] ONE TWO THREE FOUR [The bass now plays the original Rhodes melody] [Lead vocal] I've got double vision! [Backing vocals] Double... Double... Double... [Lead] Two rhythms in my head! [Backing] In my head! [Lead] One keeps moving forward! [Backing] Forward! [Lead] One keeps dragging me back! [Final chorus] Double vision Now I see it clear The beat was never broken It was always underneath here Double vision Two sides of the same sound One foot inside the future One foot underground [BREAKDOWN — everything strips] [Breathing] One... [Rhodes] Two... [Sub] Three... [Kick] Four. [Silence] [Final vocal — completely dry] You weren't hearing two beats. You were hearing one beat... from two different directions. [FINAL GROOVE — full 124 BPM] [Ad-libs] Don't count it! Feel it! Don't fight it! Ride it! Double vision... [Instrumental outro] [Rhodes melody] [bass melody] [acid fragments] [jackin' percussion] [human claps] [room noise] [Last whispered line] ...same beat. Different eyes.
